Jeb Bush Sees Rising Star in Wisconsin Governor's Race
Wisconsin Republicans have yet to nominate a candidate for governor. Indeed, the state's primary is not until Sept. 14. But two national GOP heavyweights -- former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich -- are bullish on the prospects of Scott Walker, the self-described, brown-bag-packing county executive of Milwaukee.

"The guy is a fantastic candidate," Bush said. "The event that we did together, he gave a stump speech that sounded like it was the last three days of the campaign. I mean, he was on fire. It was, it was, he's the real deal."

The Wisconsin governor's race is one of the 2010 contests that could have implications in the 2012 White House race. Much more so than senators, governors tend to command the kind of state political machinery that can make a difference in a presidential contest.

1. Oh, God, Neuman (R) before Walker (Robber Baron)
Walker's solution to everything is sell public assets at a loss and reduce taxes. Generations in one of America's socialist bastions struggled to create public works and public parks that for some time were enviable throughout the midwest and beyond. Now he's out to destroy the average citizen's access to things which he feels are meant for the better-off.

5. The new kick against the working class seems to make everything out to be entitlements.
Education,healthcare, retirement, etc.... Bailouts and tax cuts for the rich and their projects are not entitlements according to Scott Walker and his eighth education. His lack of education also makes him think that dismantling and selling public assets at a loss will keep taxes low.
